1 min to read


Tampa-based colorist Vanessa (@Vanessa.At.LegaciesHairStudio) says her client wanted her hair color to stay dark, but wanted it healthier, stronger and shinier.

"I met with her for a consultation and I could tell right away she was needing more moisture, a fresh color and an Olaplex treatment. After all was agreed upon, she booked her appointment immediately."
